Academic writing information


UC Davis geotechnical engineering graduate students discuss research posters, one common genre of academic writing

Academic writing or scholarly writing refers primarily to nonfiction writing that is produced as part of academic work in accordance with the standards of a particular academic subject or discipline, including:

  • reports on empirical fieldwork or research in facilities for the natural sciences or social sciences,
  • monographs in which scholars analyze culture, propose new theories, or develop interpretations from archives,

as well as undergraduate versions of all of these.[1]

Academic writing typically uses a more formal tone and follows specific conventions. Central to academic writing is its intertextuality, or an engagement with existing scholarly conversations through meticulous citing or referencing of other academic work, which underscores the writer's participation in the broader discourse community. However, the exact style, content, and organization of academic writing can vary depending on the specific genre and publication method. Despite this variation, all academic writing shares some common features,[2][page needed] including a commitment to intellectual integrity, the advancement of knowledge, and the rigorous application of disciplinary methodologies.
